Refund, Deferral & Transfer Policy
What options do I have if I can’t participate on race day?
High Five Events, the producer of this event, is an operation employing many full-time staff members who work on this event year-round to ensure a fun and safe environment. Almost all of the supplies and services for the event must be purchased well in advance of the actual event date. We have worked hard to ensure there are options available while also being sure we can continue to offer the best quality event year after year.
All registration transfers must be approved and processed through High Five Events and Austin International Half, formally 3M Half Marathon. Anyone caught attempting to sell or transfer their race entry/bib to another person through a non-approved process will have said race entry/bib revoked, be disqualified, be removed from the race without a refund, and will be prohibited from participating in any future events owned or produced by High Five Events. Any Persons trying to participate in the event using another participant’s race entry/bib as part of a non-approved transfer will be disqualified, be removed from the race without a refund, and will be prohibited from participating in any future events owned or produced by High Five Events.
A refund, deferral, or transfer can only be requested up to the deadlines listed on the event website. Requests cannot be processed for an event that has already taken place.
The Transfer/Deferral/ Refund Policy is subject to change at any time.
